Let’s do 1000 other things besides sleeping.

Let’s write the Great American Novel, run a marathon, plant a garden, skip through a playground.

Why close your eyes at night, only to find that you’ve missed the sunrise?

The moon is just as powerful as the sun, perhaps even more so.

The sun brings us light, and answers, but also death.

The moon also brings us light, and answers, but often in the forms of mystery.

My dear, the world is a mysterious and beautiful place.

We have but a short while to inhabit it before we must move on.

Darling, let’s write love letters, discuss films and plays, express our deepest thoughts to each other.

Why not travel; why not experience life?

One collects nothing repeating the same motions day after day.

Be spontaneous.

Run through a field with no shoes. Dare to speak out. Have the courage to say what you really feel.

Who needs sleep when we have life to energize us?
